Ultimate Obam'art (+ Madonna)


Obama's beaming face, the title of a 90s' catchy anthem, flashy colors? It's simply a t-shirt sold during Madonna's American leg of the Sticky & Sweet Tour. It would probably have sold well among European fans too. You can still get it from the official merch site!

Talking about Madonna, here's a video of the intro during the Paris show. The film is titled "Sweet Machine" along with the whole theme of the show and the diva's latest album. The video was produced by British studio Rockstar, after original drawings by Eugene Riecansky. Veneno Inc is the firm responsible for the video installation of the show.



One last Madonna info? Her outfits... They leaked on the Internet a little before the tour began and I was in awe with this brilliant pink and black bohème-inspired piece of clothing by Givenchy. A hit on stage!

OK I'll stop about Madonna for now ;)

Bring Ya To The Brink!


Cyndi Lauper is back with a dance album! Yay! After vague folk and retro tentatives, Cyndi Lauper goes back to her first love with ol'fashioned well produced dance music. The crème of European electro producers accepted Miss Lauper's invitation: The Scumfrog, Basement Jaxx, Digital Dog, Axwell, but also Dragonette and New York based Richard Morel.


An upbeat album that seriously rejuvenate Lauper's sound, even if the singer still signs the lyrics. Perfect timing for the release during the Pride month. We know how Cyndi Lauper has been deeply connected to the gay community since the 1980s with her statements: her True Colors tour reunited many great gay and lesbian artists for charity concerts across the US.







"Into The Nightlife", the album's second single

Madonna: "on a cover of *all* magazines"

As usual, Madonna doesn't go halfway and when she promotes her new album, the press goes along with her. She was on the cover of the British music magazines Q. More surprisingly, she's also on the cover of a special ecology issue of Vanity Fair, the US magazine founded in 1913.

She's also on the covers of 3 international editions of Elle: US, UK and... France of course!



Interview (created in 1969 by Andy Warhol) was the first this year to talk about the diva's new album and introduced a new picture from the Steven Klein photoshoot (also used for the cover of Hard Candy, to be released on April 29, 2008).

Finally, in France, Madonna can also be seen on the cover Figaro Madame for their fashion issue.

Hard Candy + 4 Minutes


Scoop or hoax? Here is the rumored cover of the album produced by Pharell Williams, Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills, to be released on Avril 29 2008. Here's also the cover of the 1st single with Justin Timberlake, already on rotation on some radio and soon everywhere.

Here's the supposed track-list :

“Candy Store”
“4 Minutes”
“Give It 2 Me”
“Heartbeat”
“Miles Away”
“She’s Not Me”
“Incredible”
“Beat Goes On”
“Dance Tonight”
“Spanish Lesson”
“Devil”

Like always when Madonna uncovers her artwork in advance, I can't help but feel a little surprised by these visuals... I'm not necessarily disappointed though. Actually, I just can't no longer wait!!


Bonus: The teaser film for the single release.
